Well most people who have Iphones or Android and an interest in space fairing will know Star Traders. Whether in it's free Rpg form or paid Elite form, it's a highly complex game that places you as captain of a spaceship in a hostile galaxy, trying to survive against ruthless pirates, rival factions, and hostile aliens, exploring planets, trading goods and investigating mysterious rumours  in your attempt to survive and thrive in the void, a game that has had repeated access updates to make it more vo friendly as well as huge amounts of new content added on a regular basis.

Well Trees brothers, the developers of the game are promising a bigger, badder and better sequel featuring more complex combat, a huge galaxy to explore, lots of npcs and a revolutionary new quests and rpg system as well as a full scale soundtrack with lots of good ear candy to entertain you when your giving those indipendents what for or dodging alien hives. The problem is, it won't happen without your help.

No, it's not just buying all that Water fuel to keep your mutinous crew happy or saving up for the mighty battle prow thatt requires you to dip into your captains finances, such things happen off earth too.

Star traders 2 will need your help in the form of financial donations via Kickstarter to happen. Lots of rewards are available in particular the chance to try out a new version of the game as soon as it's ready, whether you donate a lot or a little, anything will help.

So for a full list of features and a chance to donate visit the startraders 2 kickstarter on http://www.tresebrothers.com/kickstarter

Or, (as happened to me), if the internet aliens decide to cause trouble reaching Kickstater, use http://www.tresebrothers.com/kickstarter/paypal to donate via good old paypal.

The clock is ticking, so if you want the chance to really help a developer who is commited to offering access to some truly unique and highly complex games, this is the time to step forward and show your support.

hello dark.    while I've been told of this before u actually posted this, the one thing I was told by one of the developers is that they really don't know if it will be made accessible for visually impaired and blind seeing the people who are helping them are volenteers and I have learned on atleast 4 of there titles, that they use a completely differen game engine that makes the games, accessible on apple or android.   be that as it may, one has told me that they don't think us purchasing the game witch we have chance to do,  is not a purposed idea.   sense they cant say if that will be accessible for us or not.

That is not what was said in this topic http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?id=14279

I do understand that some of their previous games are not possible to add access too, however that doesn't seem the case with ST2 even if it is not accessible off the bat when first developed.

This was my concern as well however as I said in the above topic the developers did state access would be a part of the new game which is why I have already donated money to the project.
I suspect Android and Ios are different for access requirements, though I know on Ios at least the process is relatively streight forward, especially for games with a mostly text element that do not employ canvassing.

I plan to do the same.   for I was emailed twice about this before it was even posted.   I am hopeing it will be accessible for both platforms.   this was something one of the developers had told me directorly.

Well as I said, go and look in the previously mentioned topic. Had the developers not been planning on access I would not have donated.

Btw Musical professor why do you only ever reply to news posts? there is a lot more on the forum and in many cases more of a discussion elsewhere on topics mentioned in the news thus you'd probably be better discussing such things there than here.

generally I prefer to respond in an area with the least amount of clutter persay.   therer for generally responding to news topics work verses going in other topic rooms.   and I have seen people right in both such as hear and in other rooms.   but i'm getting better at that persay.

Well what you do is up to you, however note this isn't a blog, and important discussions particularly from developers don't always happen directly in the news, usually because news is intended to be just that, news on front of site often of things that have already been under discussion in New releases.

This is a particular case, sinse had you checked that new releases topic you'd see that the Trees brothers developers actually are! going to be adding full access to star traders 2 and already are expanding access in their other titles.

I'd therefore suggest next time you possibly check more completely before covering the news topics with your universally negative opinions.

your exact words that make u sound like a stupid ass were, with my, " universally negative opinion."   the info I found out came from the developer before u posted this in the news room.   for this reason  why I spoke on this.   if it is so universally negative, u don't have to respond u know.   just because u do a latest news thing, don't get it twisted like u are the only source of info?   u aren't god hear.   u were told differently and so was I.   u don't like? don't read.   idiot. n

Didn't I just say most of this news was from elsewhere?  which was precisely why I recommended you check other topics.

As for universally negative, I think your above post just proved my point.

whatever u say chump  and thanks for proving point about u as well.    my belief is that one would not respond to what is so called, universally negative opinions.   if u felt it was that, why respond.  thanks. good day.

At musical professor, name calling on this forum is prohibited. Stating your point of view is fine, but please refrain from calling people chump, or idiot, as you only make yourself come across quite hostile and not open to other's point of view. Consider this a warning. Either tone it down and be respectful or i'm afraid i'll have to ban you from the forum.
